INTRODUCTION 


ECONOMIC  CENSUSES  OVER  TIME 

The  early  beginnings  of  America's  industrial  output  were 
first  measured  in  the  United  States  in  the  1810  Decen- 
nial Census  and  again  in  1820,  when  questions  on 
manufacturing  were  included  with  those  for  population. 
Beginning  with  the  1840  Decennial  Census,  there  were 
enumerations  of  manufactures  and  mineral  industries  at 
10-year  intervals  up  to  and  including  the  year  1900  for 
manufactures  and  1  940  for  mineral  industries.  The  latter 
census/was  again  taken  for  1 954,  1 958,  1 963,  and  1 967. 

Because  of  the  increasing  dominance  of  manufacturing 
in  the  early  20th  century,  Congress  directed  that  quin- 
quennial censuses  of  manufactures  be  taken  beginning  in 
1905.  However,  from  1919  through  1939,  these  cen- 
suses were  conducted  every  2  years.  The  need  for  war- 
related  current  surveys  in  the  early  1  940's  postponed  the 
next  census  of  manufactures  until  1 948  (for  1  947).  That 
census  was  again  taken  for  1 954,  1 958,  1 963,  and  1 967. 

Retail  and  wholesale  trade  data  were  first  collected  in 
1930,  and  in  1933  information  on  selected  service  in- 
dustries was  added  to  the  data-collection  operation.  These 
business  censuses,  as  they  were  called,  were  again  taken 
for  1  935,  1 939  (as  part  of  the  1  940  decennial  program), 
1948,  1954,  1958,  1963,  and  1967. 

Information  on  construction  industries  was  first 
obtained  in  1 930  and  again  for  1 935  and  1 939.  Data  for 
the  full  spectrum  of  construction  industries  were  not 
gathered  again  until  1968  (for  1967). 

The  need  for  transportation  data  to  supplement  infor- 
mation available  from  existing  governmental  or  private 
sources  was  recognized  by  Congress  in  the  late  1950's 
and  early  1 960's.  The  census  of  transportation  (consisting 
of  several  surveys)  was  first  taken  for  1 963  and  again  for 
1967. 

Since  1 967,  all  of  the  above  censuses  have  been  taken 
quinquennially  as  part  of  the  Census  Bureau's  economic 
census  program.  (For  the  1977  censuses,  the  coverage 
of  the  service  industries  was  broadened  from  "selected 
services"  to  all  services,  except  religious  organizations 
and  private  households.  A  total  of  41  additional  four-digit 
standard  industrial  classifications1  (SIC's)  in  7  SIC  major 
groups  was  added  to  the  scope  of  the  census.  While  most 
of  the  industries  included  for  the  first  time  for  1 977  were 
covered  again  for  1982,  some  were  not,  i.e.,  hospitals; 
elementary  and  secondary  schools;  colleges,  universities, 
and  professional  schools;  junior  colleges  and  technical  in- 
stitutes; labor  unions  and  similar  labor  organizations;  and 
political  organizations.) 

The  first  manufacturing  census  for  an  outlying  area  was 
conducted  in  Puerto  Rico  for  the  year  1909.  Thereafter,

with  the  exception  of  1929,  a  census  was  taken  at 
10-year  intervals  through  1949.  The  first  censuses  of 
retail  trade,  wholesale  trade,  and  selected  service  in- 
dustries in  Puerto  Rico  were  conducted  in  1939.  These 
censuses  also  were  taken  for  the  years  1949,  1954, 
1958,  1963,  and  1967.  A  census  of  construction  in- 
dustries was  first  introduced  in  Puerto  Rico  for  1967. 
These  censuses  of  Puerto  Rico  have  been  taken  since  then 
for  the  years  1972,  1977,  and  1982. 

Censuses  of  manufactures,  retail  trade,  wholesale 
trade,  and  selected  service  industries  were  conducted  in 
Guam  and  the  Virgin  Islands  of  the  United  States  for  1 958, 
1 963,  1 967,  1 972,  1 977,  and  1 982.  Censuses  of  mineral 
industries  were  taken  in  the  Virgin  Islands  of  the  United 
States  for  the  years  1 958,  1 963,  and  1 967  but  not  since 
that  time.  A  census  of  construction  industries  was  also 
undertaken  in  these  areas  for  1972,  1977,  and  1982. 

Retail  trade,  wholesale  trade,  selected  service  in- 
dustries, manufacturing,  and  construction  industries  were 
canvassed  for  the  first  time  in  the  Northern  Mariana 
Islands  in  1983  (for  1982). 

For  1982,  the  economic  censuses  and  agriculture  cen- 
suses were  conducted  concurrently. 

USES  OF  THE  ECONOMIC  CENSUSES 

The  economic  censuses  are  the  major  source  of  facts 
about  the  structure  and  functioning  of  the  Nation's 
economy  and  provide  essential  information  for  govern- 
ment, business,  industry,  and  the  general  public.  They 
provide  an  important  part  of  the  framework  for  such 
composite  measures  as  the  gross  national  product,  input- 
output  measures,  indexes  of  industrial  production,  and 
indexes  measuring  productivity  and  price  levels.  Informa- 
tion from  the  censuses  is  used  to  establish  sampling 
frames  and  as  benchmarks  for  current  surveys  of  business 
activity,  which  are  essential  for  measuring  short-term 
economic  conditions. 

State  and  local  governments  use  census  data  to  assess 
business  activities  within  their  jurisdictions.  The  private 
sector  uses  the  data  to  forecast  general  economic  condi- 
tions; analyze  sales  performance;  lay  out  sales  territories; 
allocate  funds  for  advertising;  decide  on  locations  for  new 
plants,  warehouses,  or  stores;  and  measure  potential 
markets  in  terms  of  size,  geographic  areas,  kinds  of 
business,  and  kinds  of  products  made  or  sold. 

Following  every  census,  thousands  of  businesses  and 
other  users  purchase  reports.  Likewise,  census  facts  are 
widely  disseminated  by  trade  associations,  business 
journals,  and  newspapers.  Volumes  containing  census 
statistics  are  available  to  most  major  public  and  college 
libraries.  All  1982  data  are  available  on  microfiche  from 
the  U.S.  Government  Printing  Office  and  most  data  on 
computer  tape  from  the  Census  Bureau.  Finally,  the  more 
than  50  State  Data  Centers  also  are  suppliers  of  economic 
census  statistics.

INTRODUCTION     III 


AUTHORITY  AND  SCOPE  OF  THE  ECONOMIC 
CENSUSES 

The  economic  censuses  are  required  by  law  under  title 
13  of  the  United  States  Code,  sections  131,  191,  and 
224,  which  directs  that  they  be  taken  at  5-year  intervals 
for  the  years  ending  in  2  and  7.  The  1 982  Economic  Cen- 
suses covered  manufacturing,  mining,  construction  in- 
dustries, retail  trade,  wholesale  trade,  service  industries, 
and  selected  transportation  activities.  Special  programs 
also  cover  minority-owned  and  women-owned 
businesses.  The  next  economic  censuses  are  scheduled 
to  be  taken  in  1988  for  the  year  1987. 


CENSUS  OF  WHOLESALE  TRADE 

The  1 982  Census  of  Wholesale  Trade,  part  of  the  1 982 
Economic  Censuses,  covered  wholesale  trade  as  defined 
in  the  Standard  Industrial  Classification  (SIC)  Manual.1  It 
included  all  establishments  with  one  or  more  paid 
employees  primarily  engaged  in  selling  merchandise  to 
retailers;  to  industrial,  commercial,  institutional,  farm,  or 
professional  users;  or  to  other  wholesalers.  Companies 
selling  products  to  which  they  have  title,  as  well  as  those 
acting  as  agents  or  brokers  in  buying  merchandise  for  or 
selling  merchandise  to  others,  are  included.  The  census 
excluded  governmental  organizations  classified  in  the 
covered  industries  except  for  wholesale  liquor  establish- 
ments operated  by  State  and  local  governments.  The  basic 
tabulations  in  this  report  do  not  include  data  for  establish- 
ments which  are  "auxiliary"  (primary  function  is  providing 
a  service,  such  as  warehouses)  to  wholesale  establish- 
ments within  the  same  organization.  Data  for  auxiliaries 
are  presented  for  selected  industrial  classifications  in 
tables  included  in  the  United  States  Summary  report 
issued  as  part  of  this  series.  Data  for  auxiliaries  will  be 
presented  for  more  detailed  industry  breakdowns  in  a 
subsequent  report  issued  as  part  of  the  1 982  Enterprise 
Statistics  reports. 

Wholesale  firms  without  employees  were  excluded  from 
the  census.  In  the  census  of  retail  trade,  the  sales  of  firms 
with  no  paid  employees  are  derived  from  administrative 
records  of  other  Federal  agencies  rather  than  from  a  direct 
canvass.  These  sources  proved  impractical  for  wholesale 
firms  without  paid  employees.  In  the  census  of  wholesale 
trade,  the  sales  value  is  the  gross  volume  of  business  con- 
ducted. Firms  which  operate  wholly  or  partly  on  a  com- 
mission basis  must  provide  both  the  gross  volume  of 
business  conducted  and  commission  receipts  on  census 
forms.  Agents  and  brokers  do  not  report  to  other  Federal 
agencies  the  gross  selling  value  of  goods.  Moreover,  ad- 
ministrative records  make  no  distinction  between  commis- 
sion receipts  and  sales  receipts  by  wholesalers. 

Appendix  A  gives  a  more  detailed  explanation  of  cen- 
sus coverage  and  methodology. 


CENSUS  DISCLOSURE  RULES 

In  accordance  with  Federal  law  governing  census 
reports,  no  data  are  published  that  would  disclose  thei 
operations  of  an  individual  establishment  or  business,; 
However,  the  number  of  establishments  in  a  kind-of 
business  classification  is  not  considered  a  disclosure,  so 
this  information  may  be  released  even  though  other  in-i 
formation  is  withheld. 

GEOGRAPHIC  AREAS  COVERED 

This  report  series  presents  data  for  the  following  areas: 

1 .  The  United  States  as  a  whole. 

2.  Each  State  and  the  District  of  Columbia. 

3.  Each  standard  consolidated  statistical  area 
(SCSA)  defined  by  the  Office  of  Management  and 
Budget  as  of  January  1 ,  1 982,  meeting  the  criteria 
published  in  the  1975  Standard  Metropolitan 
Statistical  Areas  manual  or  Federal  Register, 
January  3,  1980,  Vol.  45,  No.  2.2  3  An  SCSA  is  an 
area  used  to  facilitate  the  presentation  and  analysis 
of  data  for  large  concentrations  of  metropolitan 
populations.  It  includes  two  or  more  contiguous 
standard  metropolitan  statistical  areas  which  have 
a  population  of  at  least  1 ,000,0004  and  which  meet 
specific  criteria  of  urban  character  and  of  social  and 
economic  integration. 

4.  Each  standard  metropolitan  statistical  area 
(SMSA)  defined  by  the  Office  of  Management  and 
Budget  as  of  January  1,  1982,  meeting  the  criteria 
published  in  the  1975  Standard  Metropolitan 
Statistical  Areas  manual  or  Federal  Register, 
January  3,  1 980,  Vol.  45,  No.  2.2  3  An  SMSA  is  an 
integrated  economic  and  social  unit  with  a  popula- 
tion nucleus  of  at  least  50,000  inhabitants.4  Each 
SMSA  consists  of  one  or  more  counties  meeting 
standards  of  metropolitan  character;  in  New 
England,  cities  and  towns  rather  than  counties  are 
the  component  geographic  units. 

5.  The  area  within  the  State  outside  standard 
metropolitan  statistical  areas.

Affairs,  Office  of  Management  and  Budget,  Washington,  D.C.  20503. 

30n  June  30,  1983,  the  Office  of  Management  and  Budget  an- 
nounced newly  defined  metropolitan  statistical  areas  (MSA's),  con- 
solidated metropolitan  statistical  areas  (CMSA's),  and  primary 
metropolitan  statistical  areas  (PMSA's)  into  which  previously 
defined  SMSA's  and  SCSA's  were  restructured.  The  1982  Economic 
Censuses  publications  do  not  present  data  for  the  newly  defined  areas. 
These  areas  were  defined  after  1 982  publication  plans  were  almost  com- 
plete. Inclusion  of  the  newly  defined  areas  would  have  materially  delayed 
the  publication  of  the  1 982  Economic  Censuses  reports.  However,  limited 
1977  data  for  the  new  areas  will  be  published  in  the  1984  edition  of 
the  State  and  Metropolitan  Area  Data  Book,  and  limited  1 982  data  will 
be  published  in  the  1985  edition.

6.  Each  county  or  county  equivalent.5  6 

7.  Each  municipality  of  2,500  inhabitants  or  more 
incorporated  as  a  city,  borough,  village,  or 
town.4  5 

For  the  economic  censuses,  boroughs  and  census 
areas  in  Alaska,  boroughs  in  New  York,  and  towns 
in  New  York  and  Wisconsin  are  not  included  in  this 
category. 

8.  Special  economic  urban  areas  (SEUA's)  which 
include  townships  in  New  Jersey  and  Pennsylvania 
and  towns  in  New  England  with  10,000  inhabitants 
or  more.4 

DOLLAR  VALUES 

All  dollar  values  presented  in  this  report  are  expressed 
in  current  dollars,  i.e.,  1982  data  are  expressed  in  1982 
dollars  and  1977  data  in  1977  dollars.  Consequently, 
when  making  comparisons  to  prior  years,  users  of  the  data 
should  consider  the  inflation  that  has  occurred. 

RELIABILITY  OF  DATA 

All  data  compiled  in  this  report  originated  from  either 
census  questionnaires  or  administrative  records  of  other 
Federal  agencies  and,  therefore,  are  not  subject  to 
sampling  errors.  However,  the  data  are  subject  to  non- 
sampling  errors.  Nonsampling  errors  can  be  attributed  to 
many  sources:  inability  to  identify  all  cases  in  the  actual 
universe;  definition  and  classification  difficulties;  dif- 
ferences in  the  interpretation  of  questions;  errors  in 
recording  or  coding  the  data  obtained;  and  other  errors 
of  collection,  response,  coverage,  and  estimation  for 
missing  or  misreported  data. 

The  accuracy  of  these  tabulated  data  is  determined  by 
the  joint  effects  of  the  various  nonsampling  errors.  No 
direct  measurement  of  these  effects  has  been  obtained 
except  for  estimation  for  missing  or  misreported  data; 
however,  precautionary  steps  were  taken  in  all  phases  of 
collection,  processing,  and  tabulation  of  the  data  in  an 
effort  to  minimize  the  effects  of  nonsampling  errors. 

Limited  information  is  obtained  from  the  administrative 
records  of  other  Federal  agencies.  This  information  is 
used  in  conjunction  with  other  information  available  to  the 
Census  Bureau  to  develop  estimates  for  small  employers

SUMMARY  OF  FINDINGS 


Data  from  the  1 982  Census  of  Wholesale  Trade  show 
that  Nevada's  1 ,233  wholesale  establishments  had  sales 
totaling  $3.9  billion.  In  1977,  995  wholesalers  had  sales 
of  $1.7  billion. 

Among  the  three  major  wholesale  types  of  operation, 
merchant  wholesalers  had  the  largest  share,  with  1 ,073 
establishments  and  sales  of  $2.6  billion;  followed  by 
manufacturers'  sales  branches  and  offices,  with  106 
establishments  and  sales  of  $1.2  billion;  and  agents, 
brokers,  and  commission  merchants,  with  54 
establishments  and  sales  of  $111  million. 

The  1982  payroll  of  all  wholesalers  in  the  State 
amounted  to  $252  million,  compared  to  $127  million  for 
1 977.  Payroll  per  employee  averaged  $  1 8.3  thousand  for 
all  wholesalers;  $18.4  thousand  for  merchant 
wholesalers;  $19.3  thousand  for  manufacturers'  sales 
branches  and  offices;  and  $11.4  thousand  for  agents, 
brokers,  and  commission  merchants. 

There  were  1 3,750  paid  employees  (full-  and  part-time) 
engaged  in  wholesale  trade  in  the  State  as  of  mid-March 
1 982.  Merchant  wholesalers  were  the  largest  employers, 
with  1 1 ,892  employees;  followed  by  manufacturers'  sales 
branches  and  offices,  with  1 ,41 5  employees;  and  agents, 
brokers,  and  commission  merchants,  with  443 
employees. 

Sales  by  petroleum  and  petroleum  products  wholesalers 
in  1982  accounted  for  19.8  percent  of  the  State's  total 


sales  by  all  wholesalers,  compared  to  16.5  percent  in 
1977.  Other  leading  wholesale  kind-of-business  groups 
in  1 982  were  groceries  and  related  products  wholesalers, 
with  15.6  percent;  machinery  equipment  and  supplies 
wholesalers,  with  12.3  percent;  beer,  wine  and  distilled 
alcoholic  beverages  wholesalers,  with  6.4  percent;  and 
motor  vehicles  and  automotive  parts  and  supplies 
wholesalers,  with  6.4  percent. 

For  1982,  sales  for  all  wholesalers  in  the  State  aver- 
aged $3.1  million  per  establishment.  Petroleum  and 
petroleum  products  wholesalers  averaged  $13.5  million 
per  establishment;  beer,  wine  and  distilled  alcoholic 
beverages  wholesalers,  $8.5  million;  groceries  and  related 
products  wholesalers,  $4.5  million;  metals  and  minerals 
except  petroleum  wholesalers,  $3.7  million;  and  drugs, 
drug  proprietaries  and  druggists'  sundries  wholesalers, 
$3.5  million. 

In  1982,  sales  per  employee  for  all  wholesalers  in  the 
State  averaged  $282  thousand.  Petroleum  and  petroleum 
products  wholesalers  reported  sales  per  employee  of  $1 .5 
million,  which  contrasts  sharply  with  the  $124  thou- 
sand recorded  by  chemicals  and  allied  products 
wholesalers. 

Clark  County  led  all  counties  in  the  State,  account- 
ing for  54.1  percent  of  total  sales  by  wholesalers.  Las 
Vegas  had  the  largest  sales  among  all  places  in  the  State, 
accounting  for  22.0  percent.

APPENDIX  A. 
General  Explanation 


:ensus  coverage  and  methodology 

Structure  and  method  of  enumeration  — All  wholesale 
:irms  that  had  at  least  one  quarter  of  payroll  in  1982 
A/ere  included  in  the  census  of  wholesale  trade  and  were 
nailed  either  a  regular  census  form  or  a  short  classifica- 
tion form.  The  coverage  and  the  method  of  obtaining 
census  information  from  each  follow: 

1.  Large  companies,  i.e.,  all  multiunit  firms  and  all 
single-unit  firms  above  the  payroll  size  cutoff 
established  to  separate  large  from  small  employers, 
and  a  10-percent  sample  of  the  small  employers 
were  mailed  the  appropriate  1982  Census  of 
Distributive  Trades  establishment  report  forms. 
Although  the  payroll  cutoff  varied  by  kind  of 
business,  small  employers  generally  included  firms 
with  one  to  three  employees  and  represented  about 
10  percent  of  total  wholesale  sales.  For  the  large 
companies,  a  report  of  company  organization  is 
conducted  periodically  to  identify  firms  which 
operated  establishments  at  more  than  one  location 
and  to  obtain  information  on  payroll  and  mid-March 
employment  at  each  location.  The  1981  Report  of 
Company  Organization  was  used  as  a  coverage 
check  in  the  census.  In  the  census  mailing  package 
containing  the  appropriate  1982  questionnaries, 
multiestablishment  firms  also  were  sent  a  form  to 
use  in  updating  the  list  of  establishments  with 
those  opened  since  1981. 

2.  Small  companies  other  than  those  included  in  the 
10-percent  sample  described  above  were  mailed 
the  classification  forms,  which  did  not  include 
questions  on  payroll,  employment,  and  sales  by 
commodity  lines.  Data  on  payroll  and  employment 
for  these  firms  were  derived  or  estimated  from  ad- 
ministrative records  of  other  Federal  agencies. 

Method  of  classifying  kinds  of  business  — Establish- 
ments receiving  the  regular  census  forms  were  classified 
on  the  basis  of  their  answers  to  questions  on  sales  by 
commodity  lines  and  other  inquiries.  Those  that  received 
classification  forms  were  classified  on  the  basis  of  their 
self-designation  and  answers  to  other  inquiries. 

COMPARABILITY  OF  THE  1977  AND  1982 
CENSUSES 

The  1977  and  1982  censuses  were  conducted  under 
similar  conditions  and  procedures  except  for  the 
following: 

Geographic  areas  — The  boundaries  of  a  number  of 
areas  for  which  data  are  shown  in  the  1982  census  are 
not  the  same  as  in  the  1977  census  because  of  annexa- 
tions, other  boundary  changes,  redefinitions  of  SMSA's, 
and  changes  in  qualifying  criteria  since  1977. 


In  1977,  separate  data  were  published  for  certain 
census-defined  unincorporated  places  with  25,000 
inhabitants  or  more.  For  1982,  data  for  census-defined 
unincorporated  places  are  no  longer  shown  separately 
but  are  included  as  part  of  the  "remainder  of  county" 
statistics.  In  addition,  improved  methods,  used  in  the 
1982  census  for  determining  the  proper  geographic 
areas  into  which  businesses  are  tabulated  within  a  given 
county,  resulted  in  a  number  of  businesses  that  were  not 
tabulated  as  part  of  the  "remainder  of  county"  statistics 
in  previous  censuses  being  included  within  the  "re- 
mainder of  county"  for  1982. 

In  1977,  special  economic  urban  areas  (see 
Geographic  Areas  Covered  in  introductory  text)  in  New 
England  qualified  for  separate  publication  if  they  had  an 
urban  population  of  at  least  2,500  and  a  total  population 
of  at  least  10,000.  For  1982,  the  urban  population  re- 
quirement has  been  eliminated,  and  the  area  must  have  a 
population  of  10,000  to  qualify  for  separate  publication. 

Standard  Industrial  Classification  — In  both  1982  and 
1 977,  classifications  are  based  on  the  1 972  Standard  In- 
dustrial Classification  (SIC)  Manual1  and  on  a  supplement 
issued  in  1977  showing  minor  revisions  and  clarifica- 
tions to  the  SIC  structure.  As  a  result  of  a  later  clarifica- 
tion in  1982  by  the  SIC  committee,  the  sale  of  crude  oil 
from  bulk  storage  facilities  has  been  classified  in 
petroleum  bulk  stations  and  terminals  (5171)  rather  than 
petroleum  and  petroleum  products  (5172)  as  it  was  in 
1977  and  all  previous  censuses. 

Payroll  and  employment  — The  1977  employment  item 
included  three  pay-period  statistics  omitted  from  the 
1982  inquiry:  the  number  of  paid  employees  for  the  pay 
period  including  the  12th  of  May,  August,  and 
November.  These  statistics  are  collected  and  published 
by  the  Bureau  of  Labor  Statistics. 

Inventories  — In  1982,  inventories  were  reported  at 
cost  or  market  using  generally  accepted  accounting 
methods.  Inventories  calculated  on  a  last-in-first-out 
(LIFO)  basis  were  reported  before  the  LIFO  adjustment. 
In  1977,  inventories  were  reported  by  valuation  method 
and  summed  to  a  total  for  each  establishment;  in  prior 
censuses,  all  inventories  were  reported  at  cost.  Method 
of  valuation  data  are  collected  in  the  Annual  Trade 
Survey. 

EXPLANATION  OF  TERMS 

Establishments  — An  establishment  is  a  single  physical 
location  at  which  business  is  conducted.  It  is  not 
necessarily    identical    with    a    company    or    enterprise,

APPENDIX  A    A-1 


which  may  consist  of  one  establishment  or  more.  Census 
of  wholesale  trade  figures  represent  a  summary  of 
reports  for  individual  establishments  rather  than  com- 
panies. For  cases  where  a  census  report  was  received, 
separate  information  was  obtained  for  each  location 
where  business  was  conducted.  When  administrative 
records  of  other  Federal  agencies  were  used  instead  of  a 
census  report,  no  information  was  available  on  the 
number  of  locations  operated.  Estimates  of  this  number 
were  derived  from  a  sample  and  will  be  provided  in  the 
Miscellaneous  Subjects  report  (WC82-I-4).  Each  census 
report  was  tabulated  according  to  the  physical  location 
at  which  the  business  was  conducted.  The  count  of 
establishments  in  this  publication  represents  the  number 
in  business  at  the  end  of  the  year. 

A  comparison  of  the  number  of  establishments  in 
business  at  the  end  of  the  year  versus  the  number  active 
any  time  during  the  year  for  the  United  States  as  a  whole 
is  presented  by  kind-of-business  group  in  appendix  G  of 
the  United  States  Summary  report  included  as  part  of 
this  series. 

When  two  activities  or  more  were  carried  on  at  a  single 
location  under  a  single  ownership,  all  activities  generally 
were  grouped  together  as  a  single  establishment.  The  en- 
tire establishment  was  classified  on  the  basis  of  its  major 
activity  and  all  data  for  it  were  included  in  that  classifica- 
tion. However,  when  distinct  and  separate  economic  ac- 
tivities (for  which  different  industry  classification  codes 
were  appropriate)  were  conducted  under  the  same 
ownership  at  a  single  location,  and  when  conditions 
prescribed  by  the  SIC  manual  for  recognizing  the  ex- 
istence of  more  than  one  establishment  were  met, 
separate  establishment  reports  for  each  of  the  different 
activities  were  obtained  in  the  census. 

Firms— A  firm  is  a  business  organization  or  entity  con- 
sisting of  one  domestic  establishment  (location)  or  more 
under  common  ownership  or  control.  For  economic  cen- 
sus purposes,  the  terms  "firm"  and  "company"  are 
synonymous. 

Sales  — Sales  include  merchandise  sold  for  cash  or 
credit  at  wholesale  and  retail  by  establishments  primarily 
engaged  in  wholesale  trade;  receipts  from  rental  or  leas- 
ing of  vehicles,  equipment,  instruments,  tools,  etc.; 
receipts  for  delivery,  installation,  maintenance,  repair, 
alteration,  storage,  and  other  services;  and  gasoline, 
liquor,  tobacco,  and  other  excise  taxes  which  are  paid 
by  the  manufacturer  and  passed  on  to  the  wholesaler. 

Sales  are  net  after  deductions  for  refunds  and 
allowances  for  merchandise  returned  by  customers. 
Trade-in  allowances  are  not  deducted  from  total  sales. 
Total  sales  do  not  include  carrying  or  other  credit 
charges;  sales  (or  other)  taxes  collected  from  customers 
and  forwarded  to  taxing  authorities;  and  non-operating 
income  from  such  sources  as  investments,  rental  or  sale 
of  real  estate,  etc. 

Sales  in  this  report  do  not  include  wholesale  sales 
made  by  manufacturers,  retailers,  service  estab- 
lishments, or  other  businesses  whose  primary  activity  is 
other  than  wholesale  trade.  They  do  include  receipts 
other  than  from  the  sales  of  merchandise  at  wholesale, 
e.g.,  service  receipts,  retail  sales,  etc.,  by 
establishments  primarily  engaged  in  wholesale  trade. 


Although  the  count  of  establishments  represents  the 
number  in  business  at  the  end  of  the  year,  the  sales 
figures  include  sales  of  all  establishments  in  business  at 
any  time  during  the  year.  Sales  shown  for  agents  and 
brokers  represent  the  value  of  the  goods  involved  in  the 
transactions  rather  than  the  commissions  received  or 
earnings. 

Annual  payroll  — Payroll  includes  all  forms  of  compen- 
sation such  as  salaries,  wages,  commissions,  bonuses, 
vacation  allowance,  sick-leave  pay,  and  the  value  of 
payments  in  kind  (e.g.,  free  meals  and  lodgings),  paid 
during  the  year  to  all  employees.  For  corporations,  it 
includes  amounts  paid  to  officers  and  executives;  for 
unincorporated  businesses,  it  does  not  include  profit  or 
other  compensation  of  proprietors  or  partners.  Payroll  is 
reported  before  deductions  for  social  security,  income 
tax,  insurance,  union  dues,  etc.  This  definition  of  payroll 
is  the  same  as  that  used  by  the  Internal  Revenue  Service  j 
on  form  941 . 

First  quarter  payroll  — This  item  consists  of  payroll,  as 
defined  above,  paid  to  persons  employed  at  any  time  dur- 
ing the  quarter  January  to  March  1982. 

Paid    employees    for    pay    period    including    March 

12  — Paid  employees  consist  of  the  full-time  and  part- 
time  employees,  including  salaried  officers  and  ex- 
ecutives of  corporations,  who  were  on  the  payroll  in  the 
pay  period  including  March  12.  Included  are  employees 
on  paid  sick  leave,  paid  holidays,  and  paid  vacations;  not 
included  are  proprietors  and  partners  of  unincorporated 
businesses.  The  definition  of  paid  employees  is  the  same 
as  that  used  on  IRS  form  941 . 

1982  and  1981  inventories  — Inventories  consist  of 
stocks  of  merchandise  for  sale  at  the  end  of  1982  and 
1 981 .  They  are  reported  on  an  ownership  basis;  all  mer- 
chandise owned  by  reporting  establishments  is  included, 
even  though  some  may  be  held  by  others  for  sale  on  con- 
signment. Goods  held  by  the  reporting  establishment, 
but  owned  by  others,  are  not  included.  Data  for  1982 
and  1981  inventories  LIFO  composition  will  be  published 
in  the  1982  Census  of  Wholesale  Trade  Miscellaneous 
Subjects  report  (WC82-I-4). 

Operating  expenses  — Operating  expenses  include 
payroll  as  well  as  overhead  expenses  of  the  establish- 
ment. They  do  not  include  the  cost  of  goods  sold  or  in- 
come or  excise  taxes.  Nor  do  they  include  withdrawals 
by  proprietors  or  partners  of  unincorporated  businesses. 

Auxiliary  establishments  — Each  company  included  in 
the  census  was  asked  to  identify  and  report  separately 
those  auxiliary  locations  whose  primary  functions  were 
to  manage,  administer,  service,  or  support  the  activities 
of  the  other  establishments  of  the  company.  Data  for 
auxiliaries  which  primarily  service  wholesale 
establishments  are  presented  for  selected  industrial 
classifications  in  tables  included  in  the  United  States 
Summary  report.  Data  for  auxiliaries  are  presented  for 
more  detailed  industry  breakdowns  in  a  subsequent 
report  issued  as  part  of  the  1982  Enterprise  Statistics 
reports. 


A-2    APPENDIX  A 


WHOLESALE  TRADE-GEOGRAPHIC  AREA  SERIES 


KIND-OF-BUSINESS  CLASSIFICATIONS 

Wholesale  trade,  major  groups  50  and  51  in  the  1  972 
%SIC  manual,  includes  establishments  primarily  engaged 
(fin  selling  merchandise  to  retailers;  to  industrial,  commer- 
cial, institutional,  farm,  or  professional  business  users;  or 
to  other  wholesalers;  or  acting  as  agents  or  brokers  in 
buying  merchandise  for  or  selling  merchandise  to  such 
persons  or  companies. 

The  principal  types  of  establishments  included  are: 

1.  Merchant  wholesalers  who  take  title  to  the  goods 
they  sell,  such  as  wholesale  merchants  or  jobbers, 
industrial  distributors,  voluntary  group  wholesalers, 
drop  shippers,  retailer  cooperative  warehouses,  ter- 
minal elevators,  and  cooperative  buying  associa- 
tions. 

2.  Manufacturers'  sales  branches  and  sales  offices 
(but  not  retail  stores)  maintained  by  manufacturing 
or  mining  enterprises  apart  from  their  plants  or 
mines  for  the  purpose  of  marketing  their  products. 

3.  Agents,  brokers,  and  commission  merchants  who 
buy  or  sell  products  owned  by  others  on  a  commis- 
sion or  agency  basis. 

Establishments  primarily  engaged  in  the  wholesale 
distribution  of  used  products  are  classified  on  the  basis 
of  the  product  sold. 

Establishments  primarily  engaged  in  selling  merchan- 
dise to  contractors  are  included  in  wholesale  trade,  with 
the  exception  of  lumber  yards  and  paint,  glass,  and 
wallpaper  stores.  These  exceptions  are  classified  in  retail 
trade  if  they  sell  to  the  general  public,  even  if  a  higher 
proportion  of  their  sales  is  made  to  contractors. 

Establishments  covered  by  the  census  were  assigned  a 
kind-of-business  classification  according  to  the  industry 
classifications  defined  in  the  1972  SIC  Manual.  When  a 
more  detailed  classification  was  needed  than  that  de- 
fined in  the  SIC  Manual,  more  kinds  of  business  were 
identified  within  a  SIC. 

Kind-of-business  classifications  are  not  inter- 
changeable with  commodity  classifications,  because 
most  businesses  sell  several  kinds  of  commodities.  The 
kind-of-business  code  assigned  generally  reflects  either 
the  individual  commodity  or  the  commodity  group  which 
is  the  primary  source  of  the  establishment's  receipts,  or 
some  mixture  of  commodities  which  characterizes  the 
establishment's  business.  Thus,  the  classification  of 
establishments  by  kind  of  business  generally  does  not 
make  it  possible  to  determine  either  the  number  of 
establishments  handling  a  particular  commodity  or  the 
sales  of  that  commodity.  For  example,  the  groceries  and 
related  products  classification  excludes  establishments 
selling  food  if  the  sale  of  food  is  not  the  primary  source  of 
receipts;  moreover,  even  though  establishments  are 
classified  as  groceries  and  related  products,  some  of 
their  receipts  may  be  derived  from  the  sale  of  nonfood 
products.  Information  on  the  extent  to  which  com- 
modities are  handled  by  different  kinds  of  business  is 
available  in  the  1982  Census  of  Wholesale  Trade  report, 
Commodity  Line  Sales  (WC82-I-3). 

Descriptions  of  the  1982  Census  of  Wholesale  Trade

WHOLESALE  TRADE-GEOGRAPHIC  AREA  SERIES 


TYPE-OF-OPERATION  CLASSIFICATIONS 

In  addition  to  being  classified  by  kind  of  business,  each 
wholesale  establishment  was  classified  for  the  census  by 
type  of  operation  according  to  the  ownership  of  the 
business,  ownership  of  the  goods  sold,  or  character  of 
the  principal  transactions.  Establishments  in  wholesale 
trade  are  grouped  into  the  following  three  major  types  of 
operation  and  related  subgroups: 

Merchant  wholesalers  — Establishments  primarily 
engaged  in  buying  and  selling  merchandise  on  their  own 
account.  Included  here  are  such  types  of  establishments 
as  wholesale  merchants  or  jobbers,  industrial 
distributors,  voluntary  group  wholesalers,  importers,  ex- 
porters, cash-and-carry  wholesalers,  retailer  cooperative 
warehouses,  terminal  and  country  grain  elevators,  farm 
products  assemblers,  wholesale  cooperative  associa- 
tions, and  petroleum  bulk  plants  and  terminals  operated 
by  nonrefining  companies. 

Wholesale  distributors  and  jobbers  — Estab- 
lishments primarily  engaged  in  buying  and 
selling  merchandise  in  the  domestic  market 
and  performing  the  principal  wholesale  func- 
tions of  buying,  stocking,  selling,  etc. 

Importers  — Establishments  buying  and  selling 
goods  at  wholesale  on  their  own  account,  whose 
principal  source  of  purchases  was  foreign. 

Exporters  — Establishments  primarily  engaged  in 
purchasing  goods  in  the  United  States  and 
selling  them  to  foreign  customers. 

Terminal  grain  elevators  — Grain  elevators  primarily 
engaged  in  buying  and  selling  grain  received 
from  country  grain  elevators  and  grain  market- 
ing establishments.  They  have  sizable  space 
for  grain  storage,  and  products  are  received 
primarily  by  rail  or  barge  rather  than  by  truck. 

Country  grain  elevators  — Grain  elevators,  cooperative 
or  other,  buying  and  receiving  grain  directly 
from  farmers  by  truck  and  selling  at  wholesale. 

Assemblers  of  farm  products,  except  country  grain 
elevators  — Establishments  primarily  engaged  in  pur- 
chasing directly  from  farmers  and  assembling 
and  marketing  farm  products  at  wholesale. 


Manufacturers'  sales  branches  and  offices- 
Establishments  maintained  by  manufacturing,  refining, 
and  mining  companies  apart  from  their  plants  or  mines 
for  marketing  their  products  at  wholesale.  Branch  stores 
selling  to  household  consumers  and  individual  users  are 
classified  in  retail  trade.  Sales  branches  and  sales  offices 
located  at  plants  and  at  administrative  offices  are  includ- 
ed when  separate  records  are  available.  In  some  tables, 
data  are  shown  separately  for  manufacturers'  sales 
branches  and  for  sales  offices.  These  two  types  of 
establishments  differ  in  that  sales  offices  do  not  carry 
stocks  of  merchandise  for  delivery  to  customers. 

Agents,  brokers,  and  commission  merchants- 
Establishments  whose  operators  are  in  business  for 
themselves  and  are  primarily  engaged  in  selling  or  buying 
goods  for  others.  Included  here  are  such  types  of  opera- 
tions as  auction  companies,  import  agents,  export 
agents,  selling  agents,  merchandise  brokers,  and  com- 
mission merchants.  "Sales"  as  shown  in  census  publica- 
tions for  agents,  brokers,  and  commission  merchants 
represent  the  gross  sales  (or  purchase)  value  of  the 
goods  in  the  transactions  negotiated. 

Auction  companies  — Wholesale  establishments  pri- 
marily engaged  in  selling  merchandise  on  an 
agency  basis  by  auction. 

Import  agents  — Merchandise  agents  and  brokers  in 
the  domestic  market  buying  merchandise  from  or 
selling  merchandise  for  foreign  firms. 

Export  agents  — Merchandise  agents  and  brokers  in 
the  domestic  market  selling  to  or  buying  for 
foreign  customers. 

Manufacturers'  agents  — Wholesale  establishments  in 
the  domestic  market  selling  for  a  limited 
number  of  manufacturers  on  a  continuing  agency 
basis. 

Brokers  (representing  buyers  or  sellers)  — Wholesale 
establishments  primarily  engaged  in  selling  or 
buying  merchandise  in  the  domestic  market  on  a 
brokerage  basis  but  not  receiving  the  goods  on 
consignment. 

Commission  merchants  — Wholesale  establishments 
operating  in  the  domestic  market  receiving  goods  for 
sale  on  consignment.
